STORM-SASH FASTENER.

Application filed March 41926.

This invention relates to storm sash fasteners and has particular lreference to such a device operable by the window sash adjacent the storni sash.

5 The principal object of the invention is to provide a practical and ei'icient device of this character and one which may be discon-Y nected with a minimum of effort.

Other objects and advantages of the in vention will appear in the further description thereof.

Referring now to the accompanying drawing forming part of this application,` and wherein like reference characters indicate l5 like parts:

Figure l is a vertical section of the lower portion of an ordinary two light window, with a storm sash applied thereto, and illustrating the application of the fastener;

Figure 2 is a reduced similar' view show ing the storm sash open; and

Figure 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the fastener.

Figure .4 is a perspective view of thel spring'clip.

l represents the lower sash of a common window, and 2 the upper sash thereof, while 3 represents the storm sash, which swings from the upper end thereof as is common,

and 4L is the sill of the window frame.

The invention simply comprises the connecting' or operating rod 5, having a hole in either end, and at the upper end havingthe T-shaped angular bracket 7 pivotallyfixed thereto as at 8. A pair of elongated'holes 9 are provided in the bracket through vwhich the screws are inserted for making the bracket secure to the storm sash, as indicated in Figure l. A bracket 6, identical 40 with the bracket 7, is provided for the lower end of the rod 5, it also'being provided with elongated holes l0 by which it is made secure by screws or other fastening means to the lower sash l. It is desirable to have the lower connection of the rod 5 with the bracket 6 easily disengaged, for example when the storm windows are removed in the .assembled as shown in Figure 3, by manu- Serial No. 92,109.

Vend of the rod 5 and to" form a pivotal connection therefor. Thus when the device is ally raising the free end of the spring clip ll withdrawing with it the pin 13, the rod 5 may be easily and quickly freed from the bracket 6 when desired.

I have shown the holes 9 and lO elongated f or slot-like to provide adjustment when necessary, for example, if the lowering of the window l did not completely close the storm window, the bracket 6 could Vbe lowered slightly, or the bracket 7 raised, which would 70 provide suficient take-up so that the lowerving of the window would close the storm sash. l

It is obvious that other forms of removable pivotal connection inay be employed, 7 and other various modifications resorted to without departing from Athe spirit of the invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

The combination with the lower sash of a window and a storm sash therefor, of vertically adjustable brackets secured to the windowv and storm sash, and an operating rod pivotally connected at both ends to the brackets, the lowermost pivotal connection comprising a pivotal pin carried upon a spring cliprfor registration with the holes in the lowermost bracket and the end of the operating rod.

Invtestimony whereof I hereunto allix my signature.
